Project title: Explaining variation in quality and safety in healthcare
We are seeking an experienced, motivated, self-directed individual to develop measures of quality and safety in healthcare provision for use in the NHS and internationally. You will have the opportunity to lead on high profile, high quality papers on the analysis of health service and other data, developing methods including multi-level modelling and statistical process control. You will participate in and present at meetings and international conferences. We work closely with a variety of clinicians and psychologists within Imperial College and its hospitals, aiming to transfer our analyses into real improvements in care. In addition to a PhD or equivalent in epidemiology, statistics, health services research or a related numerate subject, you will have appropriate research experience and excellent data manipulation, computing and statistical skills to make the most of our wealth of data. Experience in using SAS is preferable, though training will be provided as necessary, as we are strongly committed to personal development.
The small, international team is led by Dr Paul Aylin, Clinical Reader in Epidemiology and Public Health. The unit publishes widely in the academic press. Examples of our output include weekend hospital mortality, the impact of junior doctor changeovers, and variation in time to operation for hip fractures. The unit is funded by Dr Foster Intelligence, an independent organisation, which collects and analyses information on the availability and quality of health services in the UK. This position is based at Dr Foster Unit, Imperial College, 12 Smithfield Street, London, EC1A 9LA.
The appointment is full-time and fixed term until 31 May 2015. Salary on appointment will depend upon qualifications and experience. Informal enquiries welcome. Please contact Dr Paul Aylin ([log in to unmask] or 07739 344491)
